I think it can go either way, but for non-fan purposes it would be a lot better to have Organic web-shooters.
 
I think they should Mechanical Web-shooters, it would be fun to see him make them, also funny if they malfunctioned while he made them, or in the middle of fighting a villain :D
 
That is what they are for, to create random suspense during a battle when he runs out of webbing. Also, it reinforces the idea that Peter is a nerd, but just a little unrealistic in my opinion.
 
I would like to see the web shooters just because it would be nice for a fresh take. However, I never had a problem with the organics, they made sense.
 
How would people feel about seeing Spidey use his web to create things?
In the comics he's made parachutes, shields, skis, replacement masks, air bags to breath underwater and even a small raft.

I always liked that.
 
I found those things to be a stretch. a spider's web has numerous gaps. And even his artificial webbing still looked like a real web, & hence would be way too porous to serve as a parachute or any of those other functions. I think it would look really cheesy on film if they did that.
 
I could buy that he could make a parachute. He is able to adjust the nozzle on his webshooters and could make the webbing either thicker or thinner. But all that other stuff is way too cartoonish. Even the parachute would be pushing it.

I get the explanation, but I don't think it would look plausible.
 
i still think they should use the web shooters and even show a quick scene with them and that it. It not like the director is gonna purposely dread on the web shooters. The movie called Spider-man not web shooters. But still they should use it. For a fresh start at least.
 
I'm kind of conflicted on the issue. I do prefer webshooters to organics as it opens up some interesting possibilities with regards to the plot(especially in the middle of a fight or something like that) and it would definitely help distinguish this new film from Raimi's. But I wanted Marvel to be the one's to do it first when they eventually get the property back. So it makes sense for Sony to do it now and would be a smart move on their part but ultimately I hope they aren't that smart.
 
In the Iron Man movie, Tony Stark built a circuit board at age four and an engine at age six. I have yet to hear anyone complain about how "unrealistic" that was.

So it's okay for 6-year-old Tony Stark to build an engine, but it's not okay for 15-year-old Peter Parker to develop a mechanical device that shoots adhesive fluid at the touch of a button?

Okay then :dry:.

It's a fair question, but I think what makes this not exactly correct is that Tony Stark was a filthy rich kid that made things that weren't exactly "new". I mean, he didn't INVENT the engine, nor did he do it in his bedroom from scratch. He was smart, but smarts don't make engine blocks appear out of thin air. With a good book, you could build a circuit board from parts at your local radio shack. The thing is, you don't have to suspend any disbelief at all for those examples. There isn't anything "unrealistic" about it. Especially if you have unlimited cash and resources.

Parker, on the other hand, is a poor kid with no access to high tech equipment or materials. His web shooters are one of a kind. There's nothing like them out there. I don't necesarily disagree with what you're trying to say, but this comparison doesn't really work IMO.
 
i honestly could care less. i see the practicality of going with organic shooters (why would he get all these spider-related powers, but no web-shooting abilities?) but i also see good reasons for going with mechanical webshooters (creating random tension, showing his intelligence, etc)........so really, i could care less. as long as he ain't shooting web like REAL spiders do, i'm good...
 
it's a very small detail. So long as they work the same way as in the comics.

Agreed. You left out the required chemicals, though.
I think that's my main problem with the mech shooters. He ain't got no money, but he manages to keep replenishing this high-tech device that NASA can't even make. I especially found it annoying during the McFarlane run, where he seemed to just waste web fluid, shooting it everywhere like he had an unlimited supply.
 
like I said; - it looked cool webbing crims in web cocoons!
 
It looked unbecoming. It looked ridiculous. And it looked wasteful. Unless the "crim" in question was potentially strong enough to break free, there was no reason to cover them completely like he was going to eat them. Particularly when your weapon is also your means of transportation. You'd look like a real clown walking home because you wasted webbing on a crackhead. But then, Todd also would have him holding 10 weblines in each hand while swinging, which is what my previous post was actually referring to.

Nikola Tesla. Invented the AC motor. The basic design of which is still used in every car today. It came to him in a vision. He saw a circle of magnets proppelling electricity around a geometric pattern. Went to America and changed the world. Edison despised Tesla for his ability to by-pass the experimental stage and rely solely on Epiphany. Tesla said that the images that flooded his head were 'tormenting.'

I actually think Stark was loosely based on Tesla. Atleast in the movie. There has -without question- been an attempt on behalf of the education system to supress information about this person whom some refer to as 'the father of the 20th century'

I would say Organic webshooters. Even Stan Lee liked the Organic webshooter idea better than mechanical for the first film.

I was watching "Spiderman tech" on the history channel and Stan Lee talk about Organic webshooters and that Spiderman had a huge patch of webbing in wrists. Stan Lee mentioned that he wished he thought of than when he first created Spiderman.

I found the video, forward it to 5:00.

While it isnt a big deal to me, organics make MUCH more sense.
I never understood why he didn't have organic web shooters. Out of all the things spiders do, weaving webs is probably one of the first things you think of. Plus a high school student with almost no money living with his aunt who is also having money troubles always creating web fluid seems a little odd.
